tion. A man who is sober* attentive, and%of any strength of mind* will rarcjy go fatwrofig ; at least, if he dons, lie will soon b'
% recalled to duty, by the influence of conscience,that vicegerent oft lie d«itv ; where.,as the person, who is irregular in his con^a.' duct, and without principles to govern his
*w- mind, may be compared to a ship in a boisteroussou, unprovided w ith a helm ; He is
tossed to and fro for a few pass ng 5 cars,and Anally wrecked upon the shoals of m.s

"In the third place, as a iirge share ofevery master's happiness, even of hisprofcssiona^chametor,depends upon thcin egriiyanil faithfulness of those below him, 1cannot sufficiently recomtn aid to your noticewhat may bo called the economy o>
managing servants ; !> cause, by stud) ingthis art successfully, your ow.i interest maynot only ho promoted, but a'so the welfareand comfort of the 1 .borers in your servicematrridly increased. Servants wit!i alltheir imjierfeciions, (and God knows nohuman being is altogether perfect) are rare,
ly so bad as represented ; and in many in.stances their defec iv© conduct may be imputed,in sum* measure, to the master himself,in so fir as he neglects to teach themth<*ir duty,or behaves to them with roughnessor asper ?y. When you, George, becomea master, treat your servants wi hkindness ; and i venture ?o say, that, almostin every ins*nncc, a suitable return will b;experienced. The be-t servant nriy fall
* into error a: a time ; iut when one of thischaracter happens to make an unintentionalmistake, rather wink at the fault, thanr< prchend it in the manner too customarywith many p niple. Depend upon it, more
j«J may be done in this way, than byadopting a con'rary conduct, mat is, if theservant is gifted w.th the slightest nortionof sense and discernment. Tho thought*iess and profligate, I wouiI not retain or)

GEORGIA.We extract the following passages from
the message of Gov. Gdmer to the Legislatureof Georgia now in session.GEOLOGICAL SURVEY.
The appropriation of tea thousand dollarsfor a geological Survey of the Stat**,will beexpended before the cad of the present
. year. It wiit be necessary that nn nddilione!appropriation shall be made, if it isthe purpose of the Legislature to continuethe opera1 ions of the Geologist, until an
entire survey of the State shall be completed.The buiidin? which is now being emc.
ted fur fi Lunatic Asylum, will be compleled before your next session, and ready forthe reception of tire insane. I would callthe attention of tho Legislature to the n^cessityof prescribing the rules upon whichi s inmates shall bo received, adopting prop,er regulations for the government of theInstitu'ion, appoin ing a Doard of Trusteesfor its superintendence and inspection, anda Physician for its Medical direction.
There are at present one hundred andsixty convicts in the Penitentiary. Thisnumber is too large to bo e.mployed withinthe present building, or to admit of the convictsbeing subjected to solitary confinement,the number of cells now erected beingonly ou« hundred and fifty.
The Bounty *>n Silk.* u .r it «i woutu rcspecuuuy recommend the repealor modification of the law passed at
your last session, to promote the culture ofsilk. From enquiries made by 'his Department,it has been ascertained that the pr«miumof fifty cents off-red by that law for©ucv, pound of silk cocoons raised in theS ate, .s iwrreo Kvim tf)e(r value ; sothat the producers, receiving premium,will receive certainly twice the value forcocoons, and throe tirn^ if they can find a
market for them. The extended plantingsof the morus multicauhs mulberry tree,winch I«1 already been made in this Statu ;the facility wi.h which it can be rapidly propagated; its quick growth and c4Ply fitnessfor fending t ie silk worm and tip; easewith witich any quantity of the silk worms
may be obtained; render it highly proba.hie that a sufficient quantity of silk cocoonswill be ra sed, en i led to premiums, to ox-
can 1)3 hut little doubt that this will be thecase, ii'our climate, soil, and chenp lands,admit of t!i« application of labour to diecultivation of the mulberry ;rec, and raisingsilk cocoons, so as to derive thercJrom theordinary profits received fiom other < n»plo\ments.If not, then u!l the premiumswhich shall have been paid, will be so
much public money thrown away. As thelaw gives an implied pledge that tlie premiumshall bo paid for ten years, regard forthe public f >iih. as well as the public interestr- quires that if it is to be repealed or mo li-fjcil within the ten years, it be done at once.!
1 and b fore verv extensive obligations shallj have been incurred to our citiz'ms under it,or large amounts of the public money paidaway.
Besides hese objections to the particularprovisions of the l.iw, the policy in whirh itis founded is itseif very questionable. Thepeople of ibis country arc so keenly a'tivcto their own interests; so li.tlc under theinfluence of long continued usages ; andchange from on'- employment to another so
readily ; that the intcifen nce of the Gov.eminent in giving a forced direction to theirlabour by bounties, can scarcely be justifiedin ntiy instance whatever. As the raisingof silk cocoons requires neither etftraordinrtrv camtal nor skill ; has been known tov .r
ho pooplo of this- S ue from its first colonialsettlement: is designed to supply the demandsof luxury and not of nec ssi y ; andtherefore only encouraged by thy Su e to
enlarge the sources of profit; there is no
stronger inducement for its encouragementby bounty, than any other production whichilie Legisla'ure may be of the opinion can
be ra sed with advantage.Iftiie Legislature should bo of tiro cpinIion, however, that the law is found- d in
] Sound policy, and ought to bo continued inforce, I would recommend that it bo so
m id.fi? d, as to takeoff the bounty now allowedupon s lk cocoons, and increase thatallowed upon silk, and especially upon raw
Professor, Fornrm, of the Washing on
or reeled silk. Frauds are so easily com
rnitted in weigh ng cocoons ihatjJinynoi be prevented. There;s brts:?!cs no ob.ject to be effected by encouraging the raidingof cocoons at present, as there is no
sufficient market fur their sale in the Uui'cJStates, and because they canno* bo sen:
abroad on account or iheir great bulk in
proportion to their value ; the injury doneto them by Compression ; and tlr ir liabilityto decay when exposed to the dampof the ocean. Raw silk, on the contrary,finds a ready market to any amountin England or France, and is so light in proporton to its value, as to-b?; set.t abroad at
very little expense. If silk is to be undo inthis State in sufficient quan'iiirs to becomeone of its staple productions, it will most
J urohably be fa the form of raw silk, andI therefore, encouragement should be given:o i: in ihat form, if at oil.
Maine and Georuia.! regret to nform vou tint the Legislatureof the Stat^ of Maine has declined ink.
ing any measures to give satisfaction to t'»isState, for the violation of its constitu ion.ilrights, by the refusal of Governor Dunlapand Governor K'-nt to deliver up to its authoritiesupon their demand tie* fugitivesfrom its justice, Philbrook and K< llerao..You will perceive from the proceeding? ofthe Legislature of Mai..e, at i's Inst session,that upon reference to it of all the documentsin relation to Philbrook and Kellemn,it contented itself by resolving that thewhole of that subject was exclusively withinthe province of the Executive Department,and that it was inexpedient for the Legislatureto take any order in relation thereto,
! notwithstanding that the Ivgisla'tire had
j passed a law at its previous session, definingtne power of the Executive D partmcntin arresting and delivering up fugitives fromjustice, from oilier Snes, and evidentlywith die view of justifying Gov. Dunlnp inhis previous refusal to deliver up PiiNbrook and Kelleran to the authorities of th;sStat'*,
Tlds conduct of the Legislature of Maineand the previous conduct of Governor Dunlapand Governor Kent, prove conclusivelythat the opposition to llie in titution ofslaveryis so great .among the people of thatState, thai their public nurh<.riiies nri preventedfrom obeying the injunc ioris of theCci.stitu.iau of the United States, win n requiredto deliver up fugitives Horn justicecharged with the crime of violating therights of property in slaves. This Sfamust therefore protect by its own authority,the rights of its citizens in slaw propertyagainst this disposition of Maine, to violatethem. For this purpose you will be justifiedin declaring by lawt that uii oiiiz<-ns ofMaine who may come within the jurisdictionof tii s State, on board of any vessel ;»sowners, oflirirrv or mariners, shall he roil-
sidered as doing so wit!) the intent to romniitthe crime of seducing negro slavesirom their owners, and bo dealt wi ll accordinglyby the officers ofjustice.
I have not called a convt n'iori of thepeople of the State to take into coasidt ration'he course they ought to purs'-T in maint doingtheir rights in consequence of die refusalof Maine to do them justice, as directedby the resolutions of the L"g slature, passed.at its session of 1837, for the reason, ilia'he Legislntuio failed to provide for the ex-

The prose..t being the first number of t
lew volume, we change the title of our pa;^^Jvr to suit its character. We some time^H>incc promised that if the increase ofsubscription list thould warrant the exn^ww jljf procuring new type we would Jo so^H'je IIr.ave h id an increase but not sufficiHMo fil:ovcr th* expense of new type for thOpa- «Hper; we must therefore use the old until jHthey arc still somewhat more worn^ N
It will be seen by reference to our terms flthat we have made them more favorable to j|Jiv w subscribers than formerly, and this Mlmade it easier for those who approve the Iflpaper to add to its subscription list.
